Into the Badlands is an American television series that premiered on November 15, 2015, on AMC.[1] Into the Badlands has been described as \"a high-octane sci-fi martial arts series\"[2] and as a \"post-apocalyptic drama\".[3] The series follows a warrior and a young boy who journey through a dangerous feudal land together seeking enlightenment.[4] On February 9, 2019, AMC canceled the show after three seasons.[5] The series finale aired on May 6, 2019.[6]
Described as a \"genre-bending martial arts series\", the story is loosely based on the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West. AMC ordered six one-hour-long episodes of the action-drama developed by AMC Studios for a premiere in late 2015.[45] Executive producer Stephen Fung also serves as the series' action director alongside veteran Hong Kong choreographer, Ku Huen-chiu.[46] AMC renewed the show for a 10-episode second season, which premiered on March 19, 2017.[47] On April 25, 2017, AMC renewed the series for a 16-episode third season which premiered nearly a year later on April 22, 2018.[48]
The first season received mixed reviews from critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 54% approval rating with an average rating of 4.72/10 based on 39 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, \"Into the Badlands is loaded with off-kilter potential that's left largely unfulfilled -- although its well-choreographed action sequences should satisfy martial arts fans.\"[60] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 54 out of 100 based on 29 critics, indicating \"mixed or average reviews\".[61]
Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter gave a generally positive review and wrote, \"AMC finds a bloody, fun and entertaining non-zombie counterpart to The Walking Dead and turns Sundays into an escapist red zone.\"[64] Maureen Ryan of Variety wrote,
Into the Badlands season 1 filmed in New Orleans and other parts of Louisiana, but the show changed locations for season 2 and 3 by moving all the way to Ireland. From Louisiana to Ireland is a big move, to be sure, but why did it happen It turns out it has everything to do with the scenery.
Running from 2015 to 2019, AMC's post-apocalyptic martial arts series starred Daniel Wu as Sunny, a highly trained killer living in a region called the Badlands, a place ripe with bandits, warring factions, and assassins. The first season, which only consisted of six episodes, focused on Sunny's friendship with M.K. (Aramis Knight), and his conflict with Baron Quinn (Marton Csokas). Into the Badlands season 1 was filmed primarily in New Orleans using places like a 19th century fortress, an old plantation, and a mansion to bring to life several key locations in the Badlands, such as the Sanctuary, the Widow's house, and the training grounds for Baron Quinn's fighters.
Production of Into the Badlands moved to Dublin, Ireland, for season 2, and remained there until the end of the series. Though this was likely an expensive move, it was necessary for the series. According to Daniel Wu, filming in Ireland \"changed the show tremendously\" (via RTÉ Entertainment). Wu goes on to say that in New Orleans, \"there's nothing to see\", so there wasn't that much that the series could show in season 1. All of that changed in season 2, with the landscape providing greater scale for Into the Badlands.
Wu says the change made the show more \"cinematic\" and \"grand\". New Orleans limited the show in a way, forcing scenes to be confined to certain locations, but the move to Ireland opened everything up for the production team. Viewers were then able to watch the characters step out into a massive world. Into the Badlands seasons 2 and 3 were able to show off the size and scope of the Badlands in a way that the series was never able to do before.
Imagine the delight of true martial arts movie fans at the creation of an action-packed, insanely bloody and entertainingly intense television series. One hour a week (in the case of Into the Badlands season one, a mere six episodes) of kicks, punches, slicing, dicing and neck-snapping.
Hi Adam,I'm about half-way through the first season, and enjoying it. It's not the best TV I've ever seen, but it's good enough to keep watching. The wu-shu is good, and the setting/background is done well on, as you say, a limited budget.Andy
I enjoyed the first season - flawed as it is, it's entertaining. Interesting setting, indeed. The second season recently came to Netflix, and I am finding certain elements are beginning to grate on me. The Widow's ability to effortlessly dispatch armies of men single-handedly is not really that fun.
The new season opened with Sunny and M.K. separated and imprisoned, far apart. M.K. is struggling to control his powers, and Sunny is determined to fight his was back into the Badlands to find his family.
Over the course of Into the Badlands season 1, we saw The Widow rise up as a formidable opponent. Quinn, on the other hand, fell from grace thanks to his arrogance and a habit of pissing off literally everyone around him. And while this war was waging between Barons, Sunny helped the mysterious M.K. learn more about his powers and together they hatched a plan to escape their current situations.
It took several episodes for M.K. to stop running, but eventually he put all his faith in Sunny to help him control his powers and find a way to escape the Badlands. By the end of season 1, the naive and impulsive boy had turned into a determined and vigilant young man, his loyalty to Sunny completely unwavering.
Pilgrim disposing of Nix in the first three minutes of the episode is rather surprising. Nix has a lot of baggage with Pilgrim over the death of Castor, and so her death so soon into the episode looks to negate that and settle in for a reminder that at the end, no one is safe, even before the main credits.
For the second season, Into the Badlands picked up production and moved from New Orleans, Louisiana to Dublin, Ireland, where I had an opportunity to visit the sets, speak with the cast and creative team, get an up-close look at the Widow's (Emily Beecham) gorgeous gowns, and see them in action as we observed filming on one of the series signature fight scenes. As with all things in the entertainment industry, the move was partially driven by financial incentives, but it also offered the right landscapes for Season 2's expanded story, which takes us out of the Badlands and deeper into the show's world as Sunny (Daniel Wu) struggles to make it back to Vail (Madeleine Mantock) and their newborn child. According to Wu, the new locations give the show a \"grand and epic cinematic feel.\"
For Sunny, that quest is deeply personal and one that puts him in the kind of dire straights he's never faced before. A trained fighter since his youth, Sunny has lived as the right-hand man to his Baron as a fearful warrior known as a Clipper, with all the luxuries that accompany such a status. But Sunny was captured in last year's finale and starts off the new season as a slave in the territories outside the Badlands.
New this season is Nick Frost's Baije, a bit of a tricky and slippery fellow who has, quite literally, strong ties to Sunny in his new life. \"I think the first time we see him is [when] Sunny wakes up and he's chained to this man, which I think is always a lovely way to build a character,\" said Frost. \"He's difficult to scale. We don't know what his motive is. He's funny and charming, but he's also clearly slightly sketchy. He's not the kind of man you'd want to introduce to your parents, but I think if you did, he'd do it very well. He has that kind of odd charisma. Then as the show progresses, we're not sure whether he's using Sunny or he's being true or honest, and it just grows from there. I think after about episode five or six, we start to realize that this guy has a big secret.\"
As a martial artist an international action star with over seventy credits in the last two decades, Wu is a hardened pro who's right at home with that choreography style, but for Beecham, a classically trained actress, there was a bit of a learning curve. Beecham explained, \"You adapt to it. You become confident with it and try and make it your own and play with it more. During the first season, it was a completely new experience, so I was just trying to learn it as I went along. That was a massive challenge. It was really exciting.\"
They're also designing the fights to make sure that it's a little bit different each time, not just a repetition of what they did in Season 1. Wu explained, \"Having the same team from last season helped because we know what we did last season and what we can keep going toward this season. We try to make each fight slightly different. We had a good fight in the junkyard where we used a lot of parkour guys and did parkour integrated with martial arts. Then we did a classic Jackie Chan style fight with me and Baije chained together fighting this one guy.\"
Today, AMC released first look Into the Badlands Season 2 photos from its martial arts drama. The series has scored with critics and fans for its immersive world and the artistry of its elaborate fight sequences. The ten-episode second season will debut in March of 2017. Check out the photos in the gallery below!
It's hard to believe it, but Into the Badlands is coming to a close. After three seasons, AMC's martial arts fantasy drama is wrapping up with its last set of episodes, and as all of our favorite characters maneuver toward the final showdown, we prepare to say goodbye. We've already said farewell to a couple people along the way (RIP, Lydia), and it's anyone's guess who is going to survive at the very end of it all.
One relative newcomer to the show this season has been the mystifying and powerful prophetess Cressida (played with undeniable presence by Lorraine Toussaint), who has been behind some of the witchiest moments on Badlands thus far. It was her vision in tonight's episode, \"Requiem for the Fallen,\" that hinted at a potential apocalypse on the horizon. 59ce067264
